<p>The vision of the Crown Marketplace remains unchanged and the digital products
we will launch this year will provide numerous opportunities for SMEs to tender and
obtain value for money for the taxpayer. This will support the Government's aspiration
for 33% of procurement spend to go to SMEs by 2022, and I have recently announced
a package of tough new measures designed to level the playing field for smaller businesses
bidding to win government contracts, whether this be through the Crown Marketplace
or other Government tendering portals.</p>
